This is a variant of the 2950 module, where starting nations are “Boosted” so that they are of similar strength to 1650 starting nations, with larger armies, and upgraded population centers. This will be a 1 week game with 10 DS, 10 FP and 5 Neutrals (including the White Wizard). If you are interested notify Clint at ME games and he will sign you up. Make sure you give him your 5 nation choices.
Below is a list of upgrades for this game:
War of the Ring Variant 2950 Game
Here is the full list of Population Centres and changes in the War of the Ring variant game of 2950. Can you please check your turnsheets throughly as this was all done by hand so somethings may have been missed or messed up.
In addition the DS have the following extra armies:
Dog Lord + 500 HC @3221
Drgon Lord + 1000 HI @ 2715
WK (in the North)+ 1000 HI @ 2305
Fire King + 1000 HI @3224
Murazor to 60 Commander.
Here are the changes to transform 2950 into War of the Ring. Most are pop changes. Fortifications, ports/harbours, ‘hidden’, all stay as in 2950, regardless of changes to the pop, UNLESS otherwise stated.
Example: 2950 has the pop at 6360 as village/fort/harbour. If I ask 6360 to be changed to a MT, the fort/harbour remain unless otherwise specified.

All DS to receive an extra 15k gold in their starting treasuries.

Nation by nation:
Nation 1 WOODMEN change:
2712 to village
2613 to village
Add:
2605 Waetan’s Lodge camp Hidden
2411 Eorcan camp
2615 Vidus camp
2611 Buhr Ceorl village
Characters: Change ranks as follows:
Beorn C60 A20 E0 M50 St15.
Beorn should also be given item 102a Conjuring artifact, preferably a weapon. Reason: at the Battle of 5 armies Beorn fought his way thru the entire goblin host to kill the ‘Great Goblin’ Bolg, so must have greater challenge rank than Bolg. Previously Beorn had supplied Thorin and company with food and mounts, pretty remarkable when nobody else was around, hence the Conjuring artifact.
EITHER Beoraborn or Waulfa should have his mage rank increased to 40.
Beorn must have an apprentice to pass the Conjuring artifact to!

Murazor: increase command rank to 60, all other stats as in 2950. See Woodies for reasons for these; also as Witch-king is trying to regain his former Influence in this area, his viceroy, Bolg, needs emi skill. This plus giving him an extra character with command skill compensates him for downgrading the comm skill of Bolg & Rogrog.
